The POURING FORTH OF THE Seventh and Last VIALL VPON ALL FLESH AND FLESHLINES Which will be a Terror to the Men that have Great POSSESSIONS OR Several Visions which hath bin made out to me of what the All of all things is now bringing to pass that so the root of al malice strife hatred and war may be digged up and the only way for universal love and freedom to all sorts of people to be brought in but in a more especial manner and higher and most glorious discovery of God to his peculiar people whom the All of all things will make the PRAISE of the Whole EARTH ISAIAH 28. 21 22. and 43. 18 19. For the Lord shall rise up in mount Perazim he shall be wroth as in the Valley of Gibeon that he may do his work his strange work and bring to pass his act his strange act Now therefore be ye not mockers lest your bands be made strong for I have heard from the Lord of host a consumption determined upon the whole Earth Remember ye not former things neither consider the things of old Behold I will do a new thing and now it shall spring forth GEORGE FOSTER or otherwise JACOB ISRAEL Printed in the Yeer MDCL The Epistle to the Reader MY dear hearts all and everyone of you whether high or low rich or poor bond or free I am a creature and one of your fellow-Creatures forced to send unto you a smal mite which I have had through the speakings of my infinite father in me which speakings in me have bin so burning hot and so powerful that I have not bin able to resist as for to keep them in secret they being things which in this treatise I treat of I have seen them as being taken in a trance and lying for dead about 22 houres for the most part of them which in this following discourse I had made out to me being in that condition and assoon as I had seen and heard of them and they were over so that I had no other at that time I was forced to write them it being the good pleasure of my father for to make choice of me so poor and and unable a dispised instrument for to reveal and make known such things as shal surely come to pass as concerning the Levelling of that which men for the present call their own and so hord up riches and treasures here on earth for to make themselves great and to be applauded of men forgetting the exhortation of Jesus Christ who bid them lay up treasures in heaven and not here on earth for the laying up treasures here on earth Christ said the rust would take it which the Apostle James saies plainly to such men that have horded up gold and silver even the very rust of it will rise up in judgement against them looke to your selves here is the last vial to be poured forth made mention of for to give you warning of your selves for behold the day of the Lord is at hand he is coming to take vengeance on all his enemies and for to confound you all that have bundance of treasures here on earth and have laid up none in heaven nay it seems to be an unpossible thing for a rich man to go into the kingdome of heaven for saith Jesus Christ it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of an needle then for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven O you rich men what say you to these words do you think to go to heaven when the rust of your silver wil rise up in judgement against you you had more need throw away your riches here and give them to the poor that the crying of the poor might no longer come into my ear saith the Lord for their sakes do I come to take vengeance on such hypocrites as you are because you have formes of Godlyness but deny the power thereof you would fain appear to be holy but yet you would be loth to part from that which is the greatest enemie of you as the Apostle saies men coveting after riches have erred from the faith and so have peirced themselves through many sorrows but that this may no longer trouble you and keep you from coming to me I will shew my self for the poors sake when you through the hardness of your hearts have rather seen them starve for want of food then give them a peice of bread yea though they cry for the Lord sake give me a peice of bread when as all things are the Lords and the Lord comes he comes what to do he comes to bring down the pride and haughty lookes of men what pride and haughty lookes even such pride and haughty looks that scorne their fellow-creatures even that must be brought down even all their glory and honour too even that glory wherein you have gloried and boasted your selves as because of your riches you have thought your selves better then others and must have your fellow-creatures in bondage to you and they must serve you as to work for you and moyl and toyle for you standing cap in hand to you and must not displease you no by no meanes but alas what are you now I come saith the Lord for I tell you that the Lord of host comes with fire and sword for to bring down your pride and your glory and honour and all these things that you have lifted up your selves with have thought your selves better then the rest I say he comes to plague you torment you and so to make you weary of your idols which you have made to your selves for I must tell thee and it wil prove very true that the mighty God of Jacob is at hand and will come of a sudden when thou art not a ware of even that mighty Leveller for to Levell and lay mountaines and hils low even you that are richer and greater then your fellow creatures even as low as my may be and so will make all equal with the plaines for it is but just for him to do so seeing thou fat swine of the earth whatsoever thou hast is not thine own but it is all the Lords and though it hath bin his pleasure for to bestow riches on thee and so have let you usurpe authority over them yet now the Lords is at hand that he will call you to an account and finding you to be unjust stewards he will put you out of your stewardship and then you must no longer usurpe but shal be glad to be fellows with them whom now yee dispise hate and cannot abide to let them be in your sight though this may seem strange to you and you will not believe it yet it is the Lords pleasure that I should send it forth to the publick view there being some that will consider these things before hand so be made for to go before in this manner as to count nothing their own and this they do with joy when you
and dissembling with God and with men but now your hearts shall be made manifest and ye shall now appear in your own colours and so shall be made manifest to all what you are for the day of the Lord of host is now at hand to gather his out of mystical and literal Babylon even to gather Sion together and so to gather the wheat from the chaffe and though you do not believe any thing what I say as being a people bound up in your own waies and so loth to be deprived of that food ready to reason with the mightie creator why he wil reveal or make out himself to one more then to another will you say surely methinks I hear you say so that if God will make out himself by visions revelations surely he will do it as well to me as another and because he doth it not to me I do not beleive he will do it to another and thus Oye proud and stout hearted people that think all are deluded who have visions because you your selves have none and thus you binde and limit the holy one of Israel for to do nothing but what he will first make you acquainted with and so make out to you or else you wil not believe and not only remain in unbelief but you cry out against them they are deluded and are possessed with a divel and so wil raile and speak evil against them and thus you shew your malicious spirits which rather declares your self to be possest with an evil spirit or else to walk after the flesh and not after the spirit for they that are led by the spirit of God walk in peace love meeknes quietness soberness tenderness and full of compassion and pitty and these desire not to be rash and full of malice speaking of evil railing cursing judging and condemning those that are not of the same mind with them backbiters adulterers Idolaters covetous persons thinking themselves better then others and these and such as these walk after the flesh and are the dogs and sorcerers that shall be left without the City and shal not enter into the gates of the new Jerusalem for the spirit of God is a spirit of light and love whereas the spirit of the divel is a spirit of cruelty and murdering of their fellow creatures and is in darkness and the reason why I write my name to be Jacob Israel is because my name was changed from Goerge in in a vision to Jacob Israel Foster and so I subscribe GEORGE FOSTER or JACOB ISRAEL The POURING FORTH OF THE Seventh and Last VIAL I Saw in a vision a man giving away his money to another and also giving away food to feed him and cloth to cloath him And I heard a voice say this man lends unto the Lord and that man that feeds the hungry and clothes the naked lends unto the Lord For he that giveth to the poor lendeth to the Lord saith Solomon O you rich men that have abundance of gold and silver and corn of all sorts that hord it up apace and are loth to feed the hungry and cloth the naked do you think you do your duty no saith the Lord of host you do not do your duty neither do you shew your selves ever a whit kind to me for if you did you would not be so eager as to lay up abundance and see your fellow creatures starve for hunger Therefore remember that he that giveth to the poor sendeth to the Lord but you have not given to the poor for by the poor I mean those that are in want but ye have rather oppressed the poor and have caused them to cry and their cryes are come into mine cares for I the Lord of host to take vengeance on you for your cruelty against me for asmuch as you have not done it to one of these little ones you have not done it to me which if you had done it as to cloth the naked and feed the hungry and freely disperse to them that are in want in so doing you had done it to me and had given me that back which I had given to you and then you had done your duty in so doing but because you have hardned your hearts and have heard the crying of the poor and have not regarded them but have thought your selves too good for them and have not laid it to heart that they are the works of my hand and are made of the same mettle and of the same blood as you are but have thought your selves too good for them because of the riches which I have lent you and have made your riches and your strength your god and not me saith the Lord therefore I will now come and will not tarry but will come quickly and will take vengeance on you and will judge you to be destroyed in my wrath and confounded and stand amazed at my sore displeasure for I now do awake as a Giant and as a man of war to make you houl and weep and to make you see that the rust of your gold and silver shall now rise up in judgement against you and shall be a witness to torment you because you have not remembered me as to feed the hungry and cloath the naked for I will now reason with you saith the Lord is that which you have your own or are they mine surely you will say they are mine for I the All of all things have made them all yea all the beasts of the field are mine and therefore you need not be so extraodinarily covetous as to keep these creatures which I lend you for your own private use for if they had bin your own and you could have made them then you might have had some colour and have said shall I make them rich by my labour but know this O man that it is I and I alone that am the life of all creatures yea even thy life and without me you are unable to do any thing and it hath bin my pleasure to bestow riches on you for this end and purpose that thou mightest give them freely to those that are in want and not to make them your Idols as you have done But because you have done so as to make your riches your Idols and your gods and have not considered that pure religion even that religion that is pleasing to me is to visit the widdow and the fatherless that is to give and disperse that riches which you can spare to the reliefe of those that have need of them and then you had done well for in so doing you would have kept Saint James from crying against you but because you have not done it therefore James bids you houle and weep for your gold and silver even the rust of it even the rust or cankered stuffe that you have laid up for your sons and daughters portions for to make them rich while in so doing you have kept back mine which I sent you for to give to
aforesaid thus as the tree was digged up by the roots even so as this tree represents all powers so will I root up all powers even I the Lord of host the root and foundation of all powers for the present are set up by the power and strength of men in all Nations It being the good pleasure of I the Lord of host that it should be so and so by the strength and might of men the mankind that are made all of one mold and clay destroy one another which arises from a fleshly domineering and Esau's power that would raign over their fellow creatures which power assoon as one is subdued another takes place and will do so still but the time comes and the set time of I the All of all things is to be at an end and when the fulness of these dayes shall be expired and accomplished then one power shall not destroy another to set himself in power to rule over his fellow creatures no but that power shall destroy all powers besides my selfe as honour and riches shall be destroyed and so the root destroyed that I the Lord of host may be all and in all And the word of the Lord came again saying behold and lo I saw men and women runnnig together and every one said save my god save my god as if men and women had each of them a god which god must now be destroyed and I looked to see what their gods were that there was such running up and down to save them and loe I saw one company and their gods were gold and silver but this god was destroyed and another company made houses and another made their lands but these gods I saw destroyed another made their pride and honour but these gods were destroyed also and so one after another they were all destroyed even all those things which men and women have run a whoring after must be destroyed and brought to nothing and I said Lord what meaneth the people to call these their gods and my excellent majestie at whose bright appearing all things besides himself must be destroyed who will now suddenly appear to make men weep and houl for the miseries that are now a coming upon them said on this manner as followeth they call these their gods because they have set their hearts more upon these things then upon me and have with all eagernesse run after these things but I at my appearing destroys them all and so will take from earthly creatures those things wherein they have put most trust and confidence in and will destroy them in their sight even their gods of silver and gold and will make them throw away their pictures And again the word of the Lord said behold and loe I saw a company of men with their hands upon their loynes weeping and wayling crying out for help and I said Lord what meaneth these to be so feeble and to stand as they do crying for help and my eternal God said these men represent all my enemies and all my Saints enemies as they stand with their hands on their loines crying for help it showes that I the Lord of host have stricken them with fear and terror even I have taken their strength from them and they shall become as weak as water even so weak that one shall slay a 100. and a 100. slay 10000. for all their strength was taken from them so that I am confident 1. wil make nothing to slay 1000 if it doth please God to bring his enemies in such a condition which prophesie I look to see fulfilled in the year of redemtion of the creation from bondage which wil be a year of Jubilee and this Jubilee is at hand for I the Lord of host comes and wil not tarry but will arise like a man of war tearing and devouring in sunder al my enemies and wil consum them by the breath of my nostrils they shal not be able to stand for I will tread trample on them in the fierceness of my wrath wil make them come bowing down to the soals of the feet of my saints wil give the strength glory honor to my Saints and they shal rejoice and sing for ever ever And the word of the Lord came again saying behold what dost thou now see and lo I beheld a woman gloriously arrayed with a Scepter in her hand and she had a maid to wait upon her and I said Lord what meaneth this and my God the most high Jehovah answered me and said this woman represents the sons and daughters of Sion and as you saw her with a Scepter in her hand it denotes unto you that she hath power and strength over all her enemies and so is a conqueror over them all and so hath them in subjection be her enemies great or small more or less so then the time is now a comming that Sion shal rejoyce and be glad and shall sing for joy of heart when her enemies shall stand a far off and weep for bitternesse of spirit and as you saw her gloriously arrayed it shewes that the sons and daughters of Sion shall have of the best they shall eat and drink of the best and wear of the best not that they shall have the others which are those whom God in love doth not make out himself unto in bondage slavery and so deprive them of the outward creatures no but they shal have the use of the creation as to have their fil with food and al necessaries belonging to the body so they shal in this sense be their servants as is shewed by the maid waiting on the woman And presently after I saw one in glory with an army following him and he cut down his enemies a pace and left none to oppose him and of a sudden I saw all his enemies destroyed for this form of glory is the mighty God that is now risen to take vengeance on his enemies and to make them his foot-stool and his armies are his ministring spirits by which he will confound all the glory honour and strength of men yea even bring to nothing all the glory and powers of all fleshly powers how high soever they be lifted up for alas poor flesh what art thou now in my hands I am now risen to judge thee to burn thee up and so to bring thy flesh to nothing yea I will not leave thee root or branch for there shall not be son or nephew but I even I the mighty Jehovah will make a short worke for I will work and who art thou that shall hinder me from doing my purpose Therefore rejoyce and sing for joy of heart for behold I come even I thy king ô Sion shout shout and spare not lift up thy voice like a trumpet and say my God raignes even thy holy King of Sion therefore sing aloud and let the high praises of God be in thy mouth and a sharp two-edged sword in thy hand and so execute
of host as though you knew not any god at all for dissembling and lying and cheating that raignes amongst you and amongst all sorts of people ye have hardned you hearts as if the Lord had spoken to you and had told you that you shal never fal and so you prompt your selves up in your ways which I the Lord of host must destroy even your church ways that so I may torment you and purifie that blackness that remaines under your gilded professions and so draw you up unto me even to a more neerness and oneness with me that so lying and dissembling may be taken away from you and so make you deal plainly with God and with your fellow creatures and for the rest even those of the world that have no knowledge of me I must torment them by destroying their gods and bringing of them to nothing yet I must tel you that they are in one manner not so much to be blamed as you because they know nothing therefore I look that they should perform nothing but you that know something and profess me and act and walk contrary to me you are but dissemblers and hypocrites at the best for you know that you must love all men and yet you hate all that differ from you in judgement and so deserve to be a little more tormented for dissembling with your selves I promise you you shal be tormented and though the world and you be given to dissembling and lying and to eat and drink and marry and give one another in marriage as the people of old did it is but what our Saviour Jesus Christ did prophesie should be the condition of you in the last age but as I the Lord of host did forewarn my creatures even man and all creatures from destruction by my servant Noah and made him a preacher of righteousness for to tel them that destruction was coming upon them and that they for their wickedness must be destroyed even so have I now even I the Lord of host raised up a man or two or three yea twenty to testifie that I the Lord of host wil shortly appeare to confound and destroy all things by myself as I did in the days of Noah for the wickedness of this generation doth surpass the wickedness of those that were in those days but as my servant Noah was mocked at and laughed at and also derided for telling of them that destruction was at hand even so it is my pleasure now to send you a declaration by one whom I have stirred up and commanded him to put it in print that you may see that I the Lord of host wil come confound you and bring you to nothing and destroy your gods even your idols of gold and silver wil make you throw them away but hang it say you this is a delusion the divel is in him so hath filled him ful of fancies and hath distracted his braines hath made him mad and so wil rail against him and revile and speak all manner of evil against him this I know you wil do as they of old did unto my servant Noah but remember that that day as Noah went into the ark which he builded and all his family with him and also all sorts of creatures even then I the Lord of host did begin to poure out upon them the fierceness of my wrath as I had told them by Noah so you that mock and laugh and revile against my messengers now say the day of the Lord is not at hand as yet for him to do such things and therefore wil not consider for to relieve the poor and let the oppressed go free and so to breake the bands of wickedness but wil stil persist in the evil of your wayes as if you had no warning at all even for your own selves when you think safty and cry peace even then sudden destruction comes upon you even when you little think of it as it did upon the world of old and then wil I torment and plague you for despising my messengers and servants and wil be a terror and a dread to you and you shal houl and weep and my servants shall sing and rejoyce for joy and gladness of heart for as Noah and all them that went in with him became one and of one family and all the creatures became one as being in union and love one with another even so wil I now make all creatures especially my sons and daughters for to eat and drink together and so to be of one family and of one houshold having all things common and wil also make you that now revile them be stil and silent and in pain for doing so and I wil make also all the creatures to be at love and peace one with the other as they that were in Noahs Arke together so that there shal be peace and union And the Lord said behold what I wil shew thee and loe I looked and there appeared a man and he went up and down gathering men together and I said Lord what meaneth this man togather men together and what men are these and my eternall God said this man represents I the Lord of host gathering my people together and I said Lord what people and my God said the Jewes that I may bring them in to believe on my name and so to make them come with weeping and supplications and and make them know that they have peirced me and so have not bin in my way as to see and know that Jesus Christ their King and Saviour is already come but their eies have bin blinded and hardened so that they could not see as yet but though they have fell yet I the Lord of host wil graft them into the vine again and they shal see and know that I have according to my promise sent them a Saviour and a King already whom they have crucified and I wil now make them see and know that they have crucified the King of the Iewes in their own Land for which cause I have dispersed them and made them to be a people scattered in all nations and all people have had them at command so that they have bin the reproach of the heathen and all the heathen or aliens from me the Lord of host hath persecuted them and have shed their blood But I will now even in the fulness of time open their eies that they shall see and know that they have crucified Christ their King whom all their prophets made mention of and all their leviticall observations did typifie out which King they shall now see was not to come at that time to deliver them from bondage of other nations but shall now even at this time which is to come see and know that all faces shall be made black with paleness and a noise from a mongst them shall come forth that the Lord hath founded Sion and the poor of the people shall trust in it even I will make my
also make such a work in all the earth that oppression shal cease amongst them even those that are not brought into my love and favour shal live and be quiet one with the other and shal have all things common but for my Saints which have right to the tree of life and so enter in through the gates into the citty shal not be twain but shal be all one both of one heart and one minde for I the Lord of host wil preach to them and they shal hear me preach and shal learn knowof me even so much that they shal see and know that they possess all things and enjoy all things and so have all things at command for this tree of life is my self which if a man eats of he shall live for ever and also this tree of life is in the City which City may be taken two waies either mystical or literal mystically the Saints makes one City literally it is the Jerusalem where my sons and daughters shal be gathered together the gates of this City is my power which all must be indued with before they can enter into it for the tree of life is my self which will be there for ever keeping of them my sons and daughters alwaies in a continual supply so that they shal have no want of anything but the riches of the Gentils shal be brought into this City even into this new Ierusalem whose children shal be all righteous and nothing but righteousness shal dwel there nothing but the pure chosen vessels of my love shal be there even with singing dancing shal they come thither and leaping for joy for the Lord hath founded Sion and the poor of the people shal trust in it O Sion shout shout and sing for joy for all people shall tremble and quake for fear of thee even for fear of thy most excellent King I the mighty Iehovah that dwels in thee and I wil make thee to be famous and thee to be desired far among all people this word shout shewes abundance of joy joy unspeakable in thee shout and be glad nothing but rejoyce and sing let sorrow and sighing and whatsoever hath formerly troubled thee be now turned into joy and gladness I tel thee that thou shalt be made the praise of the whole earth even thou O Sion that hath bin scattered and driven into all nations here and there one but now I have founded Sion even thee O Sion wherein I do delight to dwel and will bring thee into my own place even into a Canaan of rest from all thy hateful enemies so that thou shalt no longer be here and thereon no but I wil bring you all together both Iews and Gentiles and I wil make you to be both one rejoycing in you and wil be married to you and you shal be my spouse and my wife who shal alwaies be feeding on the tree of life and so I wil make you live for ever for all my joy and delight shal be in you and I wil be your tower and rock and wals and salvation for you and in that day you shal say we have a strong City salvation will God appoint for wals and bullwarks even a free universal liberty from all sorts of enemies both within and without and nothing but joy and love all being knit together in love rejoycing in love heaving so strong a City and all manner of precious things being there even such a City and place for delight that there shal be none like it in the world for nothing but joy wil I give you and wil make you for to rejoyce in me your King of glory and you shal be as so many Kings and Princes that shal reigne here on earth every one of you no less then a King that shal have all nations in subjection to you by my mighty power which I wil manifest in you I wil make you to break the nations in peices like potters vessels even into shivers shalt thou dash all thine enemies whether they be Turk or Pope or any other Countries for all shal become as weak as water I in the midst of you wil shew my self to be strong and powerful even so strong that I wil make all nations to be silent and sit stil and let you alone and instead of making wars against you they shall beat their swords and spears and their weapons of war into pruning hooks and the nations shall not learn war any more but I wil make them say come let us go up to Sion and they will teach us their waies O what a bundance of glory wil I give unto thee O Sion that nations far and near shal come up to thee to be taught of thee and indeed they shall have great need for I wil empty all other teachings of men and all shal be barren so that there shal be no perfect rest but to those that come to Sion where I the Lord of host wil be the a lone teacher and wil make them all to know me even from the least to the greatest not only know me and cal me God because of my power being seen in that I have made the heavens and the earth for this knowledge of me all men have yet they are ignorant of what I am which my people that dwel in Sion shal know they shal see me in my glory and know me what and where I be they shal see me every where and know that I am in every thing and that the whole world is but a garment to cover me from the visible sight of men and thus wil I appear in my people gathering them together where I wil manifest my self unto them and raise them from the dead even all Israel from this death of sin and corcuption and wil make them to be partakers of the second resurrection on which the first death shall have no power and so all Israel even the whole house of Israel shal be gathered together in righteousness and in truth and they shal glory and rejoyce in me even in mount Sion yea even the place where my son Jesus was transfigured and changed so that his raiment became white and glistering and the two Apostles seeing of him in this condition said it is good to be here for the glory that was seen there which was but a resemblance of my gathering my people to Sion and so making them to be as one and when I had so gathered them together in the last daies there to make my glory shine in a more lustrious and glorious manner then ever I did when my son Jesus was on the earth for his being transfigured and shining so bright shews forth abundance of light and glory that shal be manifested to you now in these last daies for as soon as he was in garments that were white and glistering it shewes that I wil appear to be a light and a more excellent light to you then yet I have bin for the glory was so great
at the transfiguration of my son that made his disciples say it was good for them to be there even so shal my appearing in you and glathreing of you together shining in you and among you in so glorious a manner rocking you a sleep in my glory shal make you say it is good for us to be here even in this place where it is thy pleasure we shal be for here shal we be in the same condition as the two dissciples were in for at the transfiguring of thy self made them to say it was good for to be here by reason of the more transcendent glory they saw far more then they did before notwithstanding they had a long time bin in Jesus his companie so that notwithstanding those glorious discoveries which you have had of me and those glorious breakings forth of light which hath bin among you wil appear to be nothing in comparison of that light and glory you shal have when you are taken apart from the people as the two Apostles were had in the mount even then shalt thou see a more glorious discovery of me when thou art taken wholy out of Babylon and wholy from all thy enemies and brought up into the mount even into Jerusalem the place which I wil adorne with all manner of precious things as jewels of gold and pearles and precious stones of all sorts and I wil change these glimpes of light and glory which thou now hast and these little sparkes of light into a full and perfect view wherein thou maist see clearly my light and glory and so these sparkes become coales of fire that shall appear in a more fuller manner to thee then ever they did before which wil be in such an extraordinary manner that al things else shal become nothing in comparison of this glory which I wil now make you to see And whereas Jesus was transfigured before his two disciples and they saw him in glory and he was not alone in this condition but they did see Moses and Elias talking with him this is a mistery which shewes that I the Lord of host appearing in my bright and glorious dispensations which wil now be I shal appear alone but as Moses and Elias was with Christ when he was transfigured even so shal Moses and Elias now be with me in my bright appearing to you and not only Moses and Elias but all that have bin my faithful servants even the whole house of Israel shal appear in glory and you shal see and know them that they are Moses and Elias and the rest of my Saints whom I have now raised up to come and be with you and have given them a body as I have seen good and Enoch of old prophesied the Lord cometh with ten thousand of his Saints so now wil I come not only with ten thousand but with all my Saints to gard and keep me company and so wil make my name a glorious name and a memorial for ever and I thus appearing in glory and majesty wil make all my enemies to tremble and to quake when they shal hear that I the Lord doth raign in mount Sion and that I have brought Moses and Elias and all the rest of the prophets thither there for to make thee rejoyce in me the Lord of host clothing them with my self and making them for to appear in glory giving them a revvard that they shal come and be in my love and favour and that they shal now rule over all their enemies and all their enemies shal be but their footstool and they shal now tread and trample that wicked spirit which hath often persecuted them to nothing and so now shal appear to be Kings and conquerours through me that love them here is but a glimps of that glory which you shal enjoy when you come to Sion when you see me and all my Saints with me rejoycing in me and I in them but how ever know this that Sion shall be made the praise of the whole earth and all glory shal be there even all manner of precious things and all the nations shal ly down in their dust and be brought to shame and confusion and the Lord alone shal be exalted and wil magnifie himself and wil get him glory and honour over all his enmies and so wil bring to nothing all those that have opposed him and wil make Sion a scourge and a torment that shal torment all nations when they hear of the love and favour that I wil do to them and when they hear of that glory and beauty that I wil make to shine amongst them and when they hear of that priviledge that I wil give you O you Sion that you shal alwaies rejoyce and sing and shal dwel in peace and he of one heart and of one minde glorying in me and rejoycing in me and blessing your selves in my name and shal see nothing but joy for former things be passed away and all things now become new nothing but righteousnesse dwelling among you and the glory of me the Lord of host overshadowing you and keeping of you from sorrow and weeping having redeemed you out of the hands of them that were stronger then you and have made you now stronger then all your enemies and all shall lick the dust of the soles of thy feet and cal thee the Sion of the Lord the holy one of Israel and whereas thou hast been forsaken that no man went through thee I wil make thee the glory and excellency of many Generations even the joy and delight of the whole world a place wherein there shal be nothing but singing and rejoycing in God even in me the Lord of host who am the All of all things And the Lord said within me behold I looked there appeared three Suns and they were one above another the lowest was not so glorious as the midlemost neither was the midlemost so glorious as the highest for the highest of them did outstrip the other in glory and did shine so gloriously that it did darken and put out the light of both the rest for I did see that the midlemost had put out the light of the first even so that it did scarse shine but the highest did so gloriously shine in such a bright manner that the lesser lights were but darkness to that And I said Lord what meaneth these Suns and one to be so bright over the other and so to darken the rest and my God said that these three Suns hold forth three dispensations one of them more glorious then the rest and as they do appear unto you in glory so did they shine for the time of their being and the first Sun doth hold forth the first dispensation even that which was given by me the Lord of host to Moses even that law that was written in Tables of stone and the children of Israel had amongst them therefore as I did appear to my servant Moses in such away as to give him
be on the contrary shine hold forth the glory of me your creator and redeemer who have ransomed you from the hands of them that were stronger then you shine and let my glory be seen upon you for they shal be afraid of you that hate you shine ye therefore and be like so many stars that shines in the Firmament and glister like so many as the only people that are redeemed from death to light for thy light is come I am your life and light and by being absent from you your condition was a condition of death and darkness and you were compassed about with abundance of sorrow by being scattered abroad in the world but I who am your life and light even I the mighty God of Jacob am now risen to bring you into your own country even together ö daughter of Sion shout and rejoyce and cry aloud Sing and make merry and be glad in your King who am now Risen with mighty power for to bring you into your own land therefore rejoyce and sing for thy light is come Sion that vvas scattered abroad but now shal be gathered into your own country even into Judea for the glory of the Lord is risen upon you even my glory is risen upon thee for to bring thee out of a strange country and as Pilgrims and sojourners into your country there for to make my glory and light shine and rest upon thee for the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee even upon thee ö captive daughter of Sion for to make you see and know that I have purposed to bring you into your own country once again and there to make thee the praise of the whole earth and the earth to see and know my power by which I do things saith I the Lord of host who hath caused my glory for to arise upon thee for you have now a more surer word of prophesie to which you do well to take heed as to a light that shineth in a darke place until the day dawn and the day star arise in your hearts this was given to the church in that age who was to observe the word of the Apostles then and at that time they being but babes and children so had a rule for to walk by which rule the Apostle bids them take heed unto that they walke by it for how long even saith the same Apostle until the day break until there be some further appearance of light a more glorious dispensation then now is and the day star in your harts that is until you do see know God dwelling in you and so do see know Christ who is the bright and morning star to be one with the Father Son holy Ghost but one God dwelling in you who is your life and strength and so to see this God in love to be your All and in all and the very life of all things til then you being weake have had need of a writen rule to walke by but now you have no longer need of any thing to walk by no not the Scripture to walk by for I even your King and Lord wil be unto you Scripture and Law and rule and ways and formes of worships yea I wil be all arise and shine for thy light is come and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee even my glory shall now shine upon thee for to make thee the praise of the whole earth and the joy of all the nations arise and shine for behold darkness shall cover the earth and gross darkness the people arise shine your condition wil and shal be happy saith I the Lord of host who hath made my glory to shine upon you even upon you ö Sion whom I wil gather into Judea from amongst other people but I wil tel you one thing even you whom I do gather up into Judea for behold this darkness shall cover the earth and gross darkness the people even when you shal see light and walk in light and have light to be your guide and have my glory shining upon you even then shal others the earth be covered with darkness for there shal be no clear light and sun shining upon the earth even upon those that come not up to worship me the Lord of host in Jerusalem but instead of light there shal be darkness and instead of breaking forth of light there shal be a mist and a cloud that shal overspread it self for a while so that they that go not up to Jerusalem shal not have that clear light neither shal they see and know that glory which I wil and shal make out to you ö Sion for you ö Sion shal eat and drink and be ful and have the bread of life and water of life when they that come not up shal be in want and shal be hungry when Sion shal be ful for I wil take away all their food even their formes and wayes of worship and wil utterly destroy them and bring them to nothing for these things as forms of worship have they had some comfort in using them but I wil leave these dispensations wherein I have formerly appeared and wil make darkness cover the earth in this sence for I wil deprive them of all their formes and Church governments for I wil forsake them and they shal receive no benefit by them even darkness shal cover them that they shal not see light in them even gross darkness even such a darkness wil and shal light upon poor creatures that walke by forms and so think to be carried to heaven upon the sholders of their Priests but darkness yea such darkness that both Priest and people shal be amased for they shal be driven out of their common-road and so shal be forced to seek a new way even this darkness shal light upon those that are malicious and ful of envy and so would of a sudden destroy their fellow creatures darkness wil and shal overcome such for though they preach and pray yet al wil not save them but that they must be destroyed and brought to nothing for saith the Lord of host darkness shall cover the earth there wil be no clear sight of God and no clear sight of my way for they shal not come to my knowledge and so to the enjoyment of me here or in any place but where Sion shal be gathered together even my people whom I have raised from the dead and so wil bring them up to Sion at Ierusalem the City where formerly I dwelt which is in Judea and there I wil make them shine and be the glory of the whole earth and after this first resurrection that they shal have for to be raised from a condition of death and slavery into a condition of joy and life where the Second death shal have no power over them for this is the resurrection wherein I wil set you free from all death and you shal dy no more for I wil be your life and you
no other but her own reason wisdome knowledge as her God had given her even I the creator so this reason wisdome knowledge which was a good Angel the Angels of God in Adam Eve by knowing more then they should have done and so by presuming to go higher even to be as God like me their creator this reason knowledge and wisdome which was good and the good Angels of God even I the creator of all things did for presumption turn it from what it was even from a good angel or spirit in man into a Serpent a wicked angel an opposer of I their creator and so I did cast this wicked angel even this wicked reason knowledge and wisdome which became wicked for presuming to go higher then it should have done and so for this end and purpose did I the creator cast out this reason wisdome and knowledge for opposing me in Eve and in Adam to be kept in chaines and in bonds of darkness until the day of judgement which chaines and bonds of darkness is no other but giving it up to its own course and so to let it run its own race in runing from me and then giving it ever now and then a touch of my power and glory which I do cause them to behold in whom this Serpent doth remain and so doth cause it to receive torment from me for not making out my self unto them And so these Angels good and had are both in man the good Angels are the spirits of just men that give themselves up to God and so their reason knowledge and wisdome which is the spirit of man are the good Angels of God that are called ministring spirits these angels are always Gods companions and so do keep God even I the All of all things company and are alwayes with me and in me I being their rest and place of ease for when any of my Saints return from the earth so that the body becomes to be dust again then do I draw up the soul and its spirit to their centers whose centers is I the Lord of host who am the life of all men and their life is their soul which must return to me again I being its fountain and as for the spirit that returns to me when it leaves the body of a Saint for I am unto them reason wisdome and knowledge and so their spirit in them answers to mine which because it becomes subject to me it is an Angel of light and also are Angels and ministring spirits whom I the Lord of host sends out to minister comfort to my people and sometimes in formes and in shapes as I please and sometimes by making their spirits answerable to mine and so make them rest in me whence as the body now lies in the grave for saith the Apostle are not Angels ministring spirits set out to minister to them who shall be heirs of salvation sent out to them whom I wil please to send them to so then the good Angels are the spirits of just men made perfect and so saith the Apostle we are come to an innumerable company of Angels even to the spirits of just men made perfect here you may see by your Scriptures that Angels are but the spirits of just men for just men made perfect are Angels ceasing from labour and sorrow for to rest in me the All of all things who am the life of all things and so the angels in scripture made mention of are but the spirits of just men whom I can make to appear in the form of a man and what in power or otherwise in what shape or form I please and so good Angels are but the spirits of just men even of my Saints which are deceased or now contiuing and abiding in me the Lord of host The bad angels that fel and are reserved in chaines of darkness unto the judgement day of the Lord of host is the Serpent that is in man and is the wisdome and reason and knowledge that is in man which is the spirit of man and this reason wisdome and knowledge which was made good for all things were good and so there were no evil this for becoming to exalt it self as to know more then I was willing to let it know did cast it self under my wrath so became a curse under which curse it stil lies and so wil remain unto the judgement day for this reason and wisdome that is in man exalting it self against God and not becoming subject to God is the Serpent that beguiled Eve and so it did Adam and so doth and wil do until it be taken away and for beguiling Eve it became a serpent and a wicked angel thrown out of heaven that is out of the love and favour of I the Lord of host into darkness that is into my sore displeasure and not only a wicked angel but a divel and so al wicked spirits are divels for there were nothing created evil but all was made good and this reason in man was good if it had but kept his bounds wherein I had set it but by taking liberty to do what I would not have it do it became at enmity with me and so became a divel and a destroyer and so a murderer a destroyer and murderer in that it forsook me the fountain of life where it might have had rest and so have bin at quiet and so hath destroyed it self and hath made it self the very curse and so is become the most odious and greatest enemy to mankind puffing it self up and wil not willingly be subject to I the Lord of host though it is true I could make it become subject to me if so be I would shew my infinite power for to bring it from the curse even then would reason wisdome and knowledge which is the spirit of man and so consequently the divel if it opposes God become the greatest joy and comfort to man for the divel is evil in it self not made a divel but he became a divel by disobedience it being the good pleasure of I the Lord that it should be so and so then the spirits of wicked men and women are witches and divels for as you read of men that were possessed with devils and as you read that Christ did cast out devils these devils are nothing but the spirits of wicked men deceased which as soon as they go out of the body they are not at rest neither can they rest or be at quiet but they are alwaies seeking about in whom they may enter yea though it be my pleasure for to keep them out of all yet I do not but do let them get into some and there he becomes a worse divel then he were before and so doth remain for the time of the bodies being and after that ceases it goeth into another and these are witches even the spirits of wicked men are witches and I make use of them as my instruments to punish and plague
the outvvard court to be trodden under foot even al forms rules and vvorships and governments of men vvhich they have set up to be consumed and destroyed and brought to nothing and so I alone to be al in al vvhen I doth this it shal surely come to pass even then shal the poor creatures be in darkness and not able to see light by reason of my withdrawing my self to my own place and dispensation even into my Iudea there for to make my light shine there to appear gloriously in and amongst my Saints whom all shal acknowledge that they are the seed which the Lord hath blessed therefore my drawing my self into this peculiar place for to make my self glorious and so to make my name in far greater esteem by all sorts of men then now it is I wil make my light shine in a far more greater and glorious manner then now it doth for I wil be the praise of the whole earth I dwelling in my people and my people dwelling in me and I will measure the inward court even my Temple wherein all flesh and fleshlyness shal cease and be no more and I alone wil appear to be King and the only ruler and so wil cause my light to shine upon them when darkness shal cover the earth which darkness and gross darkness shal be by reason of my not shining in the world for all people shal be left in darkness and not in light that come not up to the place of rest where I wil cause my people for to ly down in peace and so to be at rest and so to be quiet and be in peace When nothing but sorrow and pricks of conscience shal accompany those that go not up to Jerusalem for that must be built in glory again set on her foundation so this manifestation of God not appearing to the creature shal be hel the lake of fire wherein the wicked and all witches must be tormented and â—his hel wil be in every place where I do not appear in love to the creature for wherein I do appear in love there shal be joy peace no sorrow and where I do not appear in love there shal be nothing but hel for hel shal be in this world even in these bodyes shal men be tormented even by being cast out and not suffered to enter into the city where nothing but peace shal be but dogs and sorcerers shal be without even they shal be in hel until the restitution of all things come that there shal be no more divel nor hel which wil be for all the divel and hel and all witches shal cease then even in the year 7000. for that shal be a year of Jubilee to all sorts of people when all sorts then shal be brought into my love and favour and shal so remaine and they shal dy even men shal dy as formerly they used to do that go not up to Jerusalem even they shal dy and be subject to change until the time comes that they shal dy no more but my people shal hear the sound of the Arch-Angel and they being dead in Christ shal be raised up to meet the Lord in the ayre even from that death they are for the present subject to and so shal even in a moment at the founding of the last trumpet be changed in a moment even in the twinkling of an eye and so shal be raised up from death into life and from sorrow unto joy and happiness and so shal be ever with the Lord of host and so shal dy no more but live for ever and all the Saints shal come with I the Lord of host even to be glorified and so to receive what bodies it shal please I their King to give them there for it is true that my sons and daughters shal be brought to be glorified and shal have bodies given them though not the same bodies of clay as formerly they had even they shal beraised up to live reign for evermore even my Saints as the Saints formerly were raised out of the graves and walked up and down so shal my Saints be now raised up to be at Ierusalem in glory for the Jerusalem is the place which I have chosen for to make my name glorious and the place of my Saints heaven for though people talk of heaven above there is none heaven above is my self drawing my Saints into my fulness then I bring them into my third heaven which is my highest dispensation and the highest discovery of my love to them and this heaven shal be here on earth even at Jerusalem and the place about Jerusalem where I wil appoint my Sons and Daughters to be and this shal be their heaven they shal live in the ful enjoyment of I the Lord Almighty and they shal see all former things to be passed away and all things become new and they shal live in pure love and in the full enjoyment of I the Lord of host who hath made them holy whom I wil alwaies cause to rejoyce and sing and leap for joy of heart because former troubles are passed away and all are now become new and all things shal be new for the Lord cometh with ten thousand of his Saints and the Lord will raign in mount Sion for evermore even I the mighty God of Jacob wil raign for ever over my people and over my enemies and all shal become subject to me But the Lord shal arise upon thee and his glory shal be seen upon thee when nothing but darkness shal be in the earth and in the outward court though there be nothing else in the earth but darkness such darkness as men earthly men shal have no comfort at all in all their outward formes and waies of worships which is the outward court and is not to be measured at all but is to be left to be trodden under foot as that which shal come to nothing and as a thing of no account by Aliens and Gentils even by such as know not me the Lord But as for my sons and daughters whom I have made choice of so wil bring them into Judea there to make my glory to be seen amongst them then shal they see that I am risen upon them and so consequently they are the inward court which is to be measured and so to be made much of even that new man Christ the anointed that is in them shal increase and grow so strong in every kind or degree that their old man Adam shal be destroyed and quite brought to nothing and then in these I mean the Jews and Gentiles which shal be gathered into Iudea the Land of promise where my glory shal be seen and made to appear to all the world and the partakers of this great glory shal be the inward Court that shal be measurable and made glorious and the inward shal increase more and more and so it shal at length break forth in
such a glorious splendour and in such a clear and bright manner as never hath bin as yet which inward court shal be taught by my self and so shal have the injoyment of my self when all flesh and fleshly actings shal be destroyed and brought to nothing and so shal this new man which is spiritual be wholy freed from the curse and shal never have the like power again for to come under the curse even under that curse which Adam brought into or upon the world as to dy and so to be subject to death or dying but shal be wholly freed from the curse and so shal be restored into the same condition again as Adam was in before his fal and so shal have no power any more to come under the curse but I their God wil so guide them by my eternal glory which shal shine upon them even upon the new man which shal make al the old man cease from being and so this new man shal be in a more glorious manner discovered to be even this new man shal spring forth as to be altogether righteous even the inocency and right cousness that was in Adam at the first when he was commanded not to eat the forbidden fruit which fruit was nothing else then that he should not seek to be higher then I had set him to be so should not breake my words but fulfil them which I knew wel enough he would break them and not fulfil them by his longing desire after the fruit which I had commanded him he should not eat of that is he should not have any desire to know more then I had given him but he should have rested himself in that condition which I had placed him in and then had not he eaten of the forbidden fruit and so had not done any thing for to displease It is true I was displeased with him to his apprehensions because I did curse the Serpent which Serpent was that reason knowledge and wisdome which I had given him for to glorifie me and so by cursing of that it became a divel and so is my greatest enemy that now I have in paradise even in my own peculiar people to whom I have made out my glory most too for the garden of paradise is man wherein were nothing but glory or wherein I had made my self to man to tarry even in Adam and so would not have had him suffered at all or knew any sorrow at al had not he have bin so inquisitive for to have known more then I would let him at the first And when he had eaten of the fruit it is said he walked in the garden and was naked that is knew wel enough that he had disobeyed me and so in that sence he was naked as being stript of my glory and of that injoyment of me which formerly he had even so that he could not have that free commerce or enjoyment of me as formerly he had as to talk with me and he being naked and had covered himself with sigg leaves that he had sowed together was nothing but his own righteousness by which he would fain have hid his fault from me and so would have made Eve have lain in all the fault and so ever since man being driven out of the garden as Adam was which was from the ful and perfect enjoyment of I their Lord and so from having no more sweet and pleasant mirth with me as Adam had at the first have bin inventing and sowing sigg leaves together that is they have bin justifying themselves in their waies and so wil not be ready to confess their faults but to lay it to another as Adam did his and Adam being put out of the garden there was set a flaming sword that turneth every way for to keep Adam from the tree of life that so poor Adam might not eat again and live for ever for this flaming sword that did turn every way was my power my infinite power for to keep Adam from the ful enjoyment of me and so from the Tree of life for I had withdrawn my self even my power from Adam and so would not let him have that power again but would keep him from the Tree of life even from the pure enjoyment of me and so from life which I had promised him that he should have lived for ever which priviledge he lost by disobedience and by falling from me and so hath never since obtained the same priviledge but all have lain under the curse for to dy which priviledge I the restoring power wil now restore to my Saints first even to those whom I wil carry out of Babylon both out of mystical Babylon which is the very mystery of iniqity and out of literal Babylon by my strong hand into Judea and so to Ierusalem the place where I wil make my self more glorious then as yet since the fal of Adam and so wil restore to my Saints there that priviledge as Adam lost and hath not as yet bin obtained but now shal be obtained which priviledge shal be a ful and perfect enjoyment of I the creator of all creatures and so to be freed from the curse which is from self reason knowledge and wisdome that is they shall no longer have that reason knowledge and wisdome which I did give to every Adam and so to every man going beyond the bounds but they shal by my power stand in the ful enjoyment of me as Adam did at the first and so they shal never have power any more as Adam had for to fal from the pure and perfect enjoyment of I their Creator as Adam did but shal be restored into the same condition as Adam was at the first even into that condition as for to live for ever even to all eternity and so never to dy any more as Adam did by his fal but shal be wholy freed from the curse as from all kind of sicknesses and sorrows which came into the world by reason of the curse which I pronounced against Adam for breaking of my revealed wil which condition they being restored into there cannot chuse but be abundance of joy which joy wil light upon my chosen ones whom I wil gather to Jerusalem and joy and gladness shal be there even to my Sion that shal be gathered together at Jerusalem whom I wil make the praise of the whole earth foreby light is come and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee even upon thee O Sion and thou shalt be established in glory but the Lord shal arise upon thee and his glory shal be seen on thee and thou shalt be made the praise of the whole earth and the Gentiles shal come to thy light and Kings to the brightness of thy rising even unto thy light O ye Jewes whom I wil gather out of all the countries wherein ye have bin dispersed even they shal come to see that light that I wil make known unto you when I shal have brought you out
of captivity and bondage into the place of rest or to that place which I wil make to be the resting place for thy light shal increase and grow bigger and bigger when all other lights shal be put out for I am the light even I the Lord of host who wil make you to shine most illubriously and gloriously even so bright that the Gentiles even my chosen ones whom I have made much of my glory out unto they shal see and know that your light doth not shine there because it is my pleasure for to make my light shine upon you even upon the Jewes who through unbelief were broken off and Gentiles were grafted in but now I wil appear unto them and wil give them hearts to believe on my name and so wil make them the desires of all nations even all nations shal long and desire for to come to thy light because my glory shal be seen upon thee when I have forsaken all other administrations besides this of mine which I wil make more illustriously to shine even to draw up my sons and daughters into spiritual communion with my self and so they shal worship me in spirit and in truth and Kings shal come in even great men of the Gentiles shal be with you for Kings shal come to the brightness of thy rising even when thou hast risen from that death which thou art for the present subject to so that thy brightness shal appear in a more extraordinary manner then now it doth even then shal kings be brought to see thy rising and to behold thy glory by my bright appearing and manifesting my glory unto you then shal thy glory far surpass all the glory and beauty of the world besides and none shal be like to thee for beauty and comliness for I wil make thee to shine so gloriously that thou shalt dazle the eyes of all the earth and all the earth shal stand and be amazed at thee for the kings that shal come to thee shal be such whom I have or shal crown with my love and favour and so my love shal cause them to come to the brightness of thy rising even thine O Iewes who are by nature descended from Abraham and so are Hebrewes and are and shal be made the praise and glory of all nations for these Kings shal see no light and comfort besides I the Lord of host and therefore shal they be brought to thy rising and shal see I the Lord of host in a more especial manner appear to you in Ierusalem whom I wil cause to be inhabited and made the praise of the whole earth in such glory as they shal not be able to tarry behinde but shal come to the brightness of thy rising even when the nations of the earth shal see that I the Lord of host hath raised thee up from that poor estate and condition that thou art now in even from death and slavery and so from darkness into a most glorious condition â—nd so to make thee shine most bright and clear O Sion and daughter of Ierusalem that was a poor and peeled remnant scattered abroad in al the world evenwhen I thy God shal raise thee up from this condition make my glory to bee seen upon thee then shalt thou be enquired after even by kings and great men who shal stand amazed at thy glory and honour where with I wil honour thee in this thy day from the resurrection from the dead which I wil raise thee nito a condition of life and peace which shal be the first resurrection from the dead and so no more darkness or any longer shal Satan or death have power over thee but thou being raised from the dead shal now live and raigne with me a thousand years which thousand years shal be for ever even to eternity and Satan shal never have any power over thee O Sion the praise of the whole earth but thou shal sing and rejoyce and shal go with singing and rejoycing when others shal be thrown into hel even to be deprived of my love and favour which I wil shew unto thee O daughter of Sion whoâ— I wil gather into the Land of Judea and without shal be those that shal apprehend me to be angry with them and so their own consciences witnessing against them and accusing of them wil condemn them for their unbeliefe and hardness of heart and so their hel shal be by being pricked in their own consciences that they have offended me and so shal suffer by the reason they condemn themselves and so shal be in hel because they shal not have any joy or comfort from me to them that I am a God of love to them and even this portion shal those drinke of that stiles themselves to be ministers and are sent to preach by me the Lord of host and they know not me neither can they by all their humane wisdome or Phylosophie attaine to the mistery which I wil make out unto them whom I shal be pleased for to do even for to make out my power and name and so to cause them to see my glory which I wil hide from the learned ones of the world and wil make choice of the unlearned and so wil make them to run when I send them to do my message even as I stirred up poor herds-men and trades-men before the Gospel in the old times and in the primitive times when I refused the Priests pharisees and leaders of the people in those daies and so those that pretend to be the heads and leaders of the people as Priests and Lawyers even they shal drink deeper then any of my sore displeasure because their consciences wil accuse them and so condemn them for not doing that which they know they should do and so they shal with the rest be thrown into the lake that burneth with fire and brimstone which is not meant material fire or brimstone but is meant the apprehensions which the ungodly shal have of me who am a burning consuming fire not aprehending I their God to be a God of love and peace which thou daughter of Sion whom I wil bring with joy into Ierusalem wil cause it to be built up in glory so wil make you for to inhabite there shal do by my rising upon you causing of you to shine so to be glorious in all the earth Lift up thine eies round about and see all they gather themselves together they come to thee thy sons shal come from far and thy daughters shal be nursed at thy sides Oye my Sons and daughters whom I wil bring up into Judea even you that are by nature Jewes and so are natural Iewes lift up your eies behold looke and behold and see all they gather themselves together even the Gentiles gather themselves together for to come up to thee O Sion whom I have gathered in Judea and have made the praise of the earth even for the glory wherewith I wil glorifie
in me and so willingly to receive me now I proffer my self to them to be their king and they shal think him now happie that shal come in the name of the Lord and shal crie Hosanna in the highest that is they shal willingly receive instructions from I the Lord of host whom they wait for and whom they do expect daily for to hear of some tha shal say the Lord of host cometh for to redeem them out of all their enemies countries and to bring them into their own Land again which tidings of their returne they shal have from England first and how the God of Iacob wil appear to be their God and so they shal see and know that their redeemer cometh and made himself known to some English men for to bring them word even the Iews that are dispersed about in Holland and Spaine Germany and Italy and how it is the pleasure of I the Lord of host for to put my spirit of courage and valiantness for to make you that are dispersed in these countries as Holland France Spaine Germany Italy gather your selves together and so to meet all of you and these whom I shal send out of England to you for to meet in the year fifty one now a coming on in Italy and I wil be your rock and your strength and wil in cheife be your leader so that you shal not fear what man shal do unto you for I have purposed and it shal surely come to pass that I wil bring you to Ierusalem and not only you but all the rest that are dispersed of you in other countries even for to make you the praise of the whole earth and I wil stir up armies that shal fight for you so that I wil bring you safely into your own countreys and wil make the Gentiles come with their gold and silver to you and you shal be honourable and all your enemies that wil not serve you shal perish for that nation and kingdom that wil not serve thee shal perish yea those nations shal be utterly wasted even the most proudest and stoutest king or governour shal be destroyed even al their armies shal come to nothing for it is my pleasure to bring down the high and mighty one and so to lay him low even wil I not favour any but wil bring them all down to the ground yea I wil bring down that potent enemie that doth so highly exalt himself and he shal come to nothing even the Pose of Rome I mean and before the fifty five years that is now present a coming he shal be destroyed even the Pope of Rome shal lose his life in 1654. and so I the Lord wil make known my power by cutting off great ones and by bringing them to nothing and so wil make them all come bending and bowing to my sons and daughters whom I wil bring to Ierusalem and because it is my pleasure that it should be so I even I the Lord of host wil appear for to confound my enemies and those that have bin enemies to my people the Jews even that proud Turk that rules and domineers now shal be before the year fifty seven consumed destroyed the great head turk shal lose his life in the year 1656 and so there shal never after him nor never any more Pope be but there shal be such alterations and changes that things present and have bin by custome of long standing turned upsides once again that I may make Ierusalem the praise of the whole earth whose gates shal be continually open and shal not be shut day or night that men may bring unto them even unto the new Ierusalem the forces of the Gentiles even such abundance there shal be that shal be brought in for to be your fellows and brethren one and of the same Citty that the places which I formerly gave unto your Fathers for their inheritances shal be enlarged and strangers shal build your Citty even the wals of your Cities even such shal build them up for you that shal not inhabite there and Kings shal minister unto you and shal bring their riches unto you though you shal have no need of any yet it is my pleasure so much to magnifie you that I wil make my self appear to be glorious in you even in the midst of you and wil make people say of a truth that God is in you and so to acknowledge that you are the seed which the Lord hath blessed and so to make them see and know that I the Lord of host am in you even in you all ruling in you and making all your enemies become subject to you But I must tel you that I wil not appear personally for to raign over you and so to give you laws to walk by no but I wil raign in you and I the God of truth wil be in you and I wil teach you how you shal walk by putting my laws in your inward parts and in writing of them in your hearts and so wil speake in you and wil also make you for to worship me in spirit and in truth not in outward formes as now you do for the glory of Lebanon shal come unto thee and the Box tree and the Fir tree shal come together to beautifie the place of my Sanctuary and so to make my feet glorious such is the worke of I the Lord of host that I wil make the very glory of the world be brought to Sion even for to make them glorious and I wil make the place of thy feet glorious ö Sion and all the sons of them the feet that afflicted thee shal come bowing and bending to the soles of thy feet and shal cal thee the Sion the Citty of the Lord the holy one of Israel such a great work wil I do for thee ö Sion that I wil make thee have power over al thy enemies and none shal be able for to oppose thee but all shal be brought to nothing and confounded yea even they shal be in such terror and fear now that they shal submit themselves to thee and cal thee even thee O Sion whom I wil gather to Jerusalem the Citty of the Lord even of I the Lord of host And whereas thou hast bin forsaken so that no man went through thee even thee O Ierusalem that hath been laid wast I wil now of a sudden make thee an eternal excellency a joy of many generations even I wil make thee to be so glorious that thou shalt be the glory and joy of Nations for thou shalt be freed from sorrow and trouble and vexation of spirit and shal live in peace and be at peace rejoicing in I the Lord of host when others shal be troubled and vexed to think that they do not partake of the same glory wherewith I have and wil glorifie thee and thou shalt also suck the milke of the Gentiles even that joy and comfort which formerly they had of me when I did
make out my self to them in formes of worships which joy and comfort you shal now have and thou shal know that I the Lord am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer the mighty God of Jacob for brass thou shalt have gold and for Iron silver instead of outward forms thou shalt have the pure injoyment of I the Lord of host in spirit and I wil make such a worke amongst you now that instead of giving oppressours to be your officers I wil give you such that shal be peace-makers and I wil make your officers or exacters over you now to be righteous nay there shal be none any longer for to be officers one over another but you shal be all alike for as the master is so shal be the man as the mistriss so shal be the maid as the buyer so shal be the seller even all alike and none greater then other but what one hath shal be the others for I wil now make all things new for violence shal be no more heard with in thy borders but thou shall call thy walls salvation and thy gates praise even thou ö Sion that shal be gathered together in Iudea and in those places thereabouts which by reason of the greatness of thy company I wil enlarge thy borders for I the Lord of host wil be your wals and your gates and wil be salvation to you for to keep and preserve you from all your enemies The Sun shal no more be thy light by day neither for brightness shal the Moon give light to thee but the Lord shal be unto thee an everlasting light thy God thy glory the sun shal no more go down neither shal the Moon withdraw her self for the Lord shal be even I the Lord of the everlasting light and I thy God thy glory and the daies of thy mourning sha be ended Whereas thou hast bin sorrowing up and down and hast I gone out of one country into the other mourning and weeping and so hast found no comfort now these shal all pass from thee and thou shalt weep no more ö Sion for the Lord hath founded thee ö Sion and wil be your King for ever even your light life joy and glory even your All and all so that thou shal not have need of outward ordinances either one or the other but I wil be a Sun and a Moon for to give thee light and for to make thee see though it hath a long time been neither light nor dark neither day nor night but now in the evening there shal be light even in these last days light shal now shine in such a perfect and clear manner that it shal be known to be light for I the Lord of host wil be sun-light and moon-light and wil be day and so indeed it wil be very glorious when I the Lord of host wil never leave them nor forsake them but wil be alwaies with them even never withdrawing light from them but alwaies making it for to encrease and grow and multiply it self til it comes to be seven fold more light then formerly there hath bin and until the weakest and feeblest that are among you be as David and David as the Angel of God even as God this shal be the estate and condition of you ö Sion whom I wil gather together to Ierusalem and so wil make you the praise of the whole earth even the very weakest of or among you shal know as much and have as much knowledge as David had and shal be in as great favour as David was with I the Lord of host who hath commanded the writer hereof to write it as my wil and not as his wil because I have purposed to appear so bright and in such a glorious manner to them making them partakers of my glory that they shal have as much knowledge as David and they shal be even as Angels of God yea even Angels and shal know as much of God even of I the Lord of host that they shal all be taught of I their God and shal have no need of teachers to teach them for I wil be their teacher and instructer and so wil guide them in the way of truth and from it they shal not err neither shal slip aside as now they do but they shal al of them be kept upright by my power and I wil not let them slip aside from me but wil uphold them with my right hand wil carry them in my bosom and so wil make them to rest in me as their only joy even in I the Lord of host thy people also shal al be righteous they shal inherite the Land for ever the branch of my planting the workes of my hands that I may be glorified even thee ö Iudea whom I have given to my Saints for to inherit and wil bring al my sons and daughters up by degrees to thee for to inherit and be there even my choice and peculiar ones to be brought up to Ierusalem the place which I have chosen for to make my name glorious for I wil make them appear to be the branch of my planting and so they shal al be righteous and not any one that shal be wicked shal be suffered to be there no hypocrite or dissembler or any one that worketh abominable mischief or speaketh lies shal be there no for it is my house and place where I have chosen to dwel even in my Saints and I wil now fulfil the prophesie there shal be no more a Canaanite in the house of the Lord for ever but all shal be righteous and glorious shining as so many stars in the Firmament and glistering so clear and so bright that al the spectators shal be dasled for mine shal be as Angels for knowledge and glory and power for in deed they shal be my Angels for a little one shal become a thousand and a smal one a strong nation I the Lord wil hasten it 〈◊〉 its time even in those poor and dispised ones who are but smal and little in comparison of the multitudes that are so great even these poor and smal ones shal encrease and grow even those who have now the breaking forth of light in them in this Nation of England which we were at the first but one even that one that had light made out to him as concerning his going to Ierusalem even that one shal become a great Nation and a glorious Nation even the joy and praise of the whole earth which I the Lord wil hasten in my own time which now wil be very shortly sing and shout ö daughter of Ierusalem sing aloud ö daughter of Sion for behold thy King the holy one of Israel is in the midst of thee and thou shalt see evil no more but now shal go with joy and rejoycing and with gladness of heart to Sion singing and leaping for joy to the mountain of the house of the Lord which shal be in Iudea and there shal sing and dance with the tabret and pipe and so shal have all kind of musick and mirth and thou shalt see sorrow no more but weeping shall now be hid from thine eys for I have called thee by a new name and so have given thee a new name for thou shalt no longer be termed desolate and forsaken but thou shal be called the place where I the Lord of host delights to dwell for as soon as Sion travelled she brought forth and was delivered of a man child who hath heard such a thing who hath seen such a thing that a nation should be born at once but now as I live 〈◊〉 the Lord of host it shall come to pass for I will give them a new name which none shall know but them that have it My name changed from GEORGE FOSTER to JACOB ISRAEL FOSTER FINIS
that are obstinate will not believe the strange work which the Lord did speak by his prophets along time before this that new thing shall be done which people shal little think of as I wil do a new work which the prophets point at even that the Lord should make you throw away that which you do so much hug and look after even the gold and silver which you make Idols of but whether you wil or no remember that it is the Lords pleasure to send you this as a thing to scourge you yea a very strange thing it is like it may appear to you but read on fear not but that the Lord of host who caused me to write this wil in his own time when he sees you to be in security and peace crying peace to your selves break in like a mighty man and confound you of a sudden for it is his pleasure to deale harshly with you and make you weary of your selves that so he may bring you through the fire to himself and make you to glory in himself not in any thing else beside himself for many reasons why the Lord should do this may be shown First that the people may understand the Lord of host is no respecter of persons as to give liberty to some more then to others in respect of those things that be necessary to the body which was all made for the use of man and that man should have the benefit of them all which man hath a long time bin deprived of the use of these outward things as riches which other do injoy and therefore seeing it was the pleasure of the Father at the first for to give to the creature man an equall priviledge to all a like and not made man to be Lord over some part of the creation and the other part of the creation be in subjection to some other man no but made man Lord over all and that all were made for the use of man it is therefore no reason that man should be kept in bondage as now they are but that the just Lord who is in the midst of us may shew his power for to restore his creature man from the bondage they are now in and so make man know that he was made a Lord over all other creatures and so now shal once again by my power saith the Lord be brought for to injoy the whole work of my hands and so shal freely enjoy the whole creation without let or hinderance in this day wherein I will make them free from the power of man and so will bring man to be fellows one with the other and not Lords over one another as they have bin and are now Secondly it is time for the Lord to appear in this way for to soften the hearts of men who are so cruel grown one to the other as if they were not all of one mold or mettle what is the reason men are so hardened one against another but by reason of private interests which some have and having more of their own as they cal it then others their hearts are puffed up with pride and so no longer wil they be fellowes but masters and Lords over the rest and so ingross more and more into their hands by craftiness until such time they get their desires and when they have got their desires in some respect they cannot rest satisfied but wil stil proceed on in cruelty and in making the rest of their fellow creatures their slaves which is abomination to the Lord that they should do so that they should injoy the works of the Lord in full and have their fill and wil not give to their fellow creatures any bread yea though they beg for the Lords sake for a peice of bread yet they are so cruel as they wil not bestow any thing upon them but many poor creatures dies for want of bread thus cruelly they deal with their fellow creatures which the Lord of host wil not suffer long to be for they have hardned their hearts and have made them as hard as a stone but the Lord will soften your hearts and make you know that you have dealt cruelly with your fellow-creatures and have raigned over them but you shal now no longer raign in pompe but you shal be brought to see by the power of the Lord of host if you consider these Scriptures which are at the beginning of severall visions you shall see and know that you are as far off from fulfilling the Scriptures by your cruelty and that you may see you break them dayly for exercising so much cruelty as you do which on the contrary if you did fulfil them you would freely give to them that have need of them And Reader I do hereby minde you of the other part which I have not writ as my judgement but by the speaking of my Father to me as concerning the Jewes even those that were Jewes by nature and are now dispersed abroad among the Gentiles how that it is the good pleasure of my Father who is infinite in himself for to bring home his own people into his own light and so to make them see that Jesus whom their fathers crucified was the King of the Iewes notwithstanding they could not at that time believe it yet now through his almighty power which he will manifest by his strong and powerful hand make them know that they have crucified their king for which cause they have bin dispersed abroad in the nations but now the father of love who is infinite of himself will in love bring home those even the Jewes and make them his spouse and choise Jewels together with the Gentiles whom he will bring out of their countrey both out of misticall and literall Babylon into their own countrey even into the land of Canaan a land of rest whom the father hath appointed to be in Judea even to make the Materiall City which the Jews formerly did inhabite the praise of the whole earth and the people that shall be gathered thither to be his choice Iewes and his wife which spouse and wife shall consist of all his chosen ones whom he will bring up into his glory both Iewes and Gentiles and how it will be his pleasure for to make others be quiet and ly in peace and will not let them come to disturb them but will confound and plague them terribly with such a blow that shall make them amazed so that they shall not know what to do but shall be glad yea they shall think themselves happy if they can be at quiet and ly down in rest for the power of the mighty God of Iacob even the infinite Iehovah shall be seen to be amongst them so that they even the Iewes shall not need to be afraid of any but they shall ly down in peace and take their rest and none shall make them afraid this will be the state and condition of Sion that shall be gathered together
